      And there is nothing wrong with it. People can visit and learn a bit about something growing in the wild or in their very own gardens. I myself have a more or less poisonous garden. I was always interested in so called medical herbs, medieval monastery gardens, pharmacy gardens. Therefore I collected a few interesting plants. Does not mean I want to use these plants to get rid of someone, but I could. That aside I have some interesting mushrooms growing too. Sadly not edible or only once. Anyhow, I was a bit surprised to see some meadow sweet in full glory in the poisonous garden. The plant is not poisonous but has great medicinal value.

    I'm glad to see your channel back again! 👍This is just my opinion, but I think you should work on making your video titles more flashy and concise like; "The RAREST gardens", "Gardens you've NEVER heard of", or "BEST gardens on Earth". Also adding large font text blurbs at a slanted/diagonal angle to the thumbnails like "100 POUND" when describing the zucchini, "DINOSAUR TREE!!", or even emojis like "☠" with an arrow for the deadly gardens and using the multiple thumbnail feature to see what gets the most clicks. TBH (sadly) it's really all about harnessing peoples tictok brains nowadays and I feel like theres a way to maintain this channels class while getting more view's (even more-so with shorts). I LOVE the editing style btw, it's the best thing to enjoy my lunch with on this entire site ❤.

    • @PidgeKatie
      @PidgeKatie 2 месяца назад +2

      They said in the video that you need a female tree and a male. This one is a male. So they either have to find another (female) tree, or maybe they will try some gene editing. But maybe thats not possibe

    • @DC-id2ih
      @DC-id2ih 2 месяца назад +2

      According to Wikipedia, they have actually made clones of this last male plant; however the clones are of course all male and can therefore never propagate naturally (repopulating the species using this approach is not practical; i.e. I am guessing the best we could hope for with this approach would be to produce samples for botanical gardens or small/protected groves). The wiki article also describes how they've been able to create successful / fertile hybrids by crossing the original plant (or one of its clones) with other closely related species.....but of course the results of this are not really the same as the original species (i.e. instead the result of this process is essentially a new/closely related hybrid species). Unfortunately unless other wild specimens (hopefully female) of this species of cycad are discovered - then the plant will likely remain "extinct in the wild".

      As I understand it, sometimes videos get permanently taken down by RUclips (sometimes just the automated pruning system) due to a myriad of reasons stemming from copyright laws. Sometimes they get triggered erroneously, yet they never get released when the iron’s still hot.
